The Sound of Irish Ballad

“The Sound of Irish Ballad” is a collection rooted in the storytelling tradition of Ireland, featuring a mix of nostalgic melodies, folk narratives, and timeless voices. Spanning classic anthems like John McCormack’s “It’s a Long Way to Tipperary” and The Irish Tenors’ rendition of “Danny Boy”, the playlist captures the lyrical charm and emotional depth of Irish balladry across generations.

With performances from legends such as Brendan O'Dowda, Delia Murphy, and Frank Harte, the lineup blends traditional folk with operatic stylings and heartfelt pub songs. Tracks like “The Foggy Dew,” “Spancil Hill,” and “Building up and Tearing England Down” reflect the cultural and historical pulse of Ireland, while softer selections such as “The Rose of Tralee” and “Castle of Dromore” keep the listening experience grounded in melody and memory. It’s a wide-reaching sample of the Irish ballad form, offering both well-known standards and lesser-heard gems.
